Peter,

The 35mm "eyes" on my Summaron work just fine on my M6. They show a minified 
view within the 50mm framelines which are easily seen while wearing glasses. 
I still think the best solution for glass wearers, however, is to buy real 
glass glasses of a very small size that fit in under your eyebrow and lets 
your eye get really close to the viewfinder. The glass also allows you to 
press against the viewfinder without concern over scratching the lens like 
plastic does.
